#1 Washington blanked 2-0 on Saturday night by 13th-ranked Arizona State to end their 28-game winning streak. What is it with Washington teams and playing in the state of Arizona?
Arizona State's Giselle "G" Juarez (8-1) fired a 3-hit complete game shutout, sending the Huskies (28-1, 0-1 Pac-12) to their first loss of the season. She fanned 11 Huskies, more than tripling UW's average...

#1 Washington begins conference play with a 3-game series at #13 ASU starting Saturday night. For a closer look at the Devils, I spoke with Andrew Bell, a writer for ASU’s State Press. Top-ranked Washington knocked off Bryant University 7-0 on Wednesday to secure an undefeated entry to Pac-12 play. Seldom-used 4th pitcher Kristin Cochran had the performance of her career, no-hitting...

The Huskies are one of the few teams on the upswing in the conference In 2012 Washington won the regular season Pac-12 title but didn’t qualify as an at-large for the NCAA Tournament. At the time it seemed likely to be the nadir of Pac-12 basketball. About that...

The #5 Huskies defeated #4 Boise in a blowout. Whether or not you see the NIT as an encouraging point of development for a rebuilding club or a sad consolation prize that furthers the agony of a lost season, there is one fact that cannot be disputed:
The Huskies are moving on.

The Huskies get at least one more home game against the Broncos as BSU’s arena has a scheduling conflict A late season swoon took away a chance for the Washington Huskies to make the NCAA tournament. But they thought they would at least have the fall back option of the NIT. And it turns out they were right as the Huskies sweated it out as they were a part of the last bracket announced...

A Look At Key Defensive Targets After a stellar 2018 recruiting class the Huskies are poised to once again bring in some top notch defensive recruits. So far the Huskies have offered 27 defensive prospects (counting who is being recruited on defense). The list below is not a comprehensive list, but rather a list of who I think the Huskies have the best shot at reeling in:
At defensive...

The Los Angeles Rams flew somewhat under the radar at the NFL Scouting Combine last week when it came to prospect meetings. The Rams hardly came up when players discussed which teams they’ve met with, but that’s to be expected.
While there’s certainly plenty of interest in defensive prospects, the Rams appear to have their eye on one offensive playmaker. Dante Pettis out of Washington...

Are the Rams looking at life past Sammy Watkins? The Los Angeles Rams are going to hold a visit for Washington Huskies WR Dante Pettis who’s entering the 2018 NFL Draft. Pettis had this to say in the interview:
He told NFL.com that he has two meetings scheduled in Seattle with the Los Angeles Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he’s sure that “a lot of teams” will try to pull him...

The reasons you should step back from the cliff following a miserable 3-6 finish to the regular season/early tourney exit Let’s get this out of the way. That sucked. That was not a fun way to end the season. Exactly 4 weeks ago on February 8th the Huskies entered a road game with Oregon with a record of 17-6. At that point all the Huskies needed to do to seemingly clinch an NCAA...

The Huskies will be hoping for an NIT berth after a terribly disappointing last month of the year If we could be sure of anything before this game it was that the game would come down to the last second and the refs would be terrible. Check and check. The Huskies came up short after Jaylen Nowell and Noah Dickerson fouled out in overtime of a 69-66 defeat to Oregon State. In 3...

An exhaustive look at every remaining conference tourney and its effect on UW’s NCAA/NIT chances This week would be a lot more fun if the Huskies had pulled off an epic comeback against Oregon on Saturday. Instead, Washington will almost certainly have to win the Pac-12 tournament to qualify for the NCAA tournament. However, there’s still a slim chance that an appearance in the...

Led by the dominant pitching of freshman Gabbie Plain, #1 Washington pushed its season-opening winning streak to 23 this weekend, eclipsing the 20-0 start in 2011. For the first time in Husky Softball history, Washington has passed the 20-0 mark to begin a season.
Their second win of the weekend, 8-2 against Northwestern on Friday night, tied the previous mark, and then a 4-1 win...

The NFL combine wraps up today in Indianapolis, where the final position group – defensive backs – will put their skills to the test in front of coaches, scouts and general managers.

Nowell also...

The Huskies are up against it leading into the Pac-12 tournament The Washington Huskies really needed to beat Oregon on Saturday but failed to get the job done. Because of that they now get a round 3 against an evenly matched Oregon State team and seemingly killed their at large hopes. Almost everyone but not quite everyone agrees. Before getting to the mock brackets, here’s a...

The Huskies’ dreams of an at-large NCAA berth die on their own home court A sold out crowd at Hec-Ed knew this was a must win game for the Huskies. But apparently no one told the team until there were 6 minutes left in the game. Oregon held off a late UW rally to crush the Huskies’ dreams with a 72-64 victory on senior day. The loss in the regular season finale drops the Dawgs...

The top-ranked Huskies thumped #11 Alabama in the home opener, then moved to 20-0 by following it up with a win over Northwestern. Husky softball is 20-0 to start the 2018 season, picking up wins vs Alabama and Northwestern on Friday in front of 1,041 fans.

What would a win over Oregon mean for UW’s Pac-12 finish and NCAA hopes? After a disappointing road loss to Stanford last Thursday the Dawgs have gotten the job done in games against Cal and Oregon State.
